Nine

The channel won its second consecutive night of the week, thanks to The Block, News, A Current Affair and True Story.

Keith threatened to shut down all work taking place in Hayden and Sara’s apartment on last night’s episode of TheBlock. In his own words, “It’s the worst site I’ve ever seen.” Sara – unsurprisingly – didn’t take this news well and chucked another tantrum. Meanwhile, Hayden and the rest of his crew worked on cleaning in the hallway.

ScottCam called Bianca and Carla to The Block Shop to fix up inconsistencies with their invoices. They paid $500 for lighting worth $10,000. This broke the competition’s rules, which require all contestants to pay at least 50% of the retail price of every item they buy for their apartment. The girls claimed they did not know this and Cam did not believe them. He ordered them to pay up the difference.

Last night’s episode of TheBlock was watched by 983,000 and was the channel’s most-watched show.
